Walking Before Running

Talked Steve into going with me to get dinner.  Would have liked to go the long way but the company was worth going the shorter distance.

It's Monday so I had to check out the fabulous KSW Times 2 instead of going this morning.  I WILL try to get out early and go this afternoon while the weather is supposed to be so nice, maybe even hit 70 today or tomorrow.

Still a bit chilly after 1 but the new plant has a good path that I took to I55 and back.  There was all sorts of wildlife and a lot of confused truck drivers.  At least I got a break.

No official mileage today.  If I included all my chasing I'm sure I made it, but I faced a time crunch with having the chance for "grandma-duty" with my daughter-in-law going down state for her great-aunt or "second grandma's"  funeral.

Planning on going out now while it is sunny.  Although it is supposed to be warmer in the afternoon, it might be raining.

Not a bit of rain.  Went out at lunch and again with Sarah before dinner.  \

Felt good after last night.  Hope the kids are healthy enough for the Halloween Hoedown this Saturday.

I went to teach Kindergarteners about worms as a master gardener and couldn't manage any mileage after that.

When the rain is just mist, it feels good on my face.  I never understood my son's enjoyment of running in the rain before.  It is a true Fall day with all the leaves now covering the ground.  Made my first 1/4 mile in 2 minutes.  Return trip was a lot slower with 27+  lbs to carry and I only stopped 3 times to adjust bags.  Whew!  I feel a sense of accomplishment, now if only I didn't break myself.

Day started out cold rainy and gloomy, then when the sun came out I took off way too fast forgetting that it was in the forties and only made a quarter mile before needing to turn back.  At least I got a sunshine fix and started feeling much better.  Folks came for dinner and we had a very nice time.
